I'm all for this. I always thought this was standard policy for every<br>
mailing list. I don't see any legitimate reason to post to a list you<br>
don't subscribe to, since if you're not a subscriber, you're not going<br>
to see the replies to your post.<br>

Doesn't the subscription confirmation e-mail kind of handle this<br>
already? I suspect spammers send from random or fictitious addresses and<br>
don't check (or even receive) email sent to those addresses, so it's<br>
unlikely they'll be confirmed as subscribers to the mailing list.<br>
<br>
I think Greg raises an excellent point that we shouldn't reply to<br>
spammers. Perhaps we should just silently ignore posts from<br>
non-subscribers. If they are real humans, they should figure it out<br>
easily enough that they need to subscribe to post. Most mailing lists<br>
have a web page advertising the list, with instructions on how to<br>
subscribe to the list and list policy, such as needing to subscribe in<br>
order to post. I think that should be adequate to keep spam away but not<br>
real humans.<br>
<br>
Besides, don't we hate when people post something that clearly indicates<br>
they didn't RTFM? ;)<br>

While you're noting people who aren't spammers but who are currently locked out despite being subscribers, I'm another. I seem never to have been flagged as 'OK' so gradually (this is over some years) came to regard the list as an interesting thing to watch but not something to participate in.<br>

<br>
Chris, while it would be helpful for me to be flagged as OK to post (for me), what about the several or many others who are stuck in the same sort of limbo? Is there a way to identify them, open up the list, and breathe a bit more life into it?<br>

<br>
That's precisely how the list works at the moment, in that new<br>
subscribers have posts moderated at first and that flag gets cleared<br>
after a while. The only problem is that the list has been running on<br>
autopilot for quite a while (I don't know how long) and so people<br>
haven't been getting unmoderated or having posts approved.<br>
<br>

<br>
Agreed, we need defence in depth on this. :-)<br>
<br>

<br>
You are now unmoderated, so you can get off that chair now. ;-)<br>
<br>
cheers!<br>

Hello Beowulf 2.0<br>
<br>
I've just started playing with NFSoIB to provide super fast backend<br>
storage for a bunch of databases that we look after here. Oracle and<br>
Nexenta are both sending me ZFS based boxes to test and I hope to compare<br>
the performance and stability of these with the Netapp (formally lsi<br>
engenio) E5400.<br>
<br>
This will be the first time I will be getting into serious storage<br>
benchmarking. Does anyone have any interesting tests they would like to<br>
run or and experience performing these kinds of tests?<br>
<br>
I have 4 HP G8 boxes with 96GB ram each QDR IB and 10G ethernet as consumers.<br>
<br>
I will also be testing the performance of KVM and Virtuozzo (commercial<br>
version of OpenVZ) which is a kernel sharing virtualization similar to BSD<br>
Jails.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>

*********************<br>
High-performance computing (HPC) is a major strategic tool<br>
for science, engineering, and industry. Existing HPC systems,<br>
however, are largely designed and developed for computation-<br>
intensive applications with a computing-centric paradigm. With<br>
the emerging and timely needs of supporting data-intensive<br>
scientific discovery and innovations, there is a need of<br>
rethinking the system architectures, programming models, runtime<br>
systems, and tools available for data-intensive HPC. The DISCS<br>
workshop provides a forum for researchers and developers in the<br>
high-performance computing, data-intensive computing, and<br>
parallel computing fields to take the Big Data challenges<br>
together and present innovative ideas, experiences, and latest<br>
developments that help address these challenges.<br>
<br>

********************************************************************************<br>
The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing<br>
list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related<br>
events. You are included in this mailing list based on your<br>
participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event.<br>
<br>
The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow<br>
participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them<br>
appropriately. Some options include:<br>
<br>
1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them<br>
to less-frequently-read folders in your email client.<br>
<br>
2. Change your subscription to a digest option<br>
(<a href="https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce" target="_blank">https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce</a>) which will<br>
consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email.<br>
<br>
3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce,<br>
you can unsubscribe from the mailing list<br>
(<a href="https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce" target="_blank">https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce</a>). Once<br>
unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through<br>
participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will<br>
need to send an email to <a href="mailto:hpc-announce-owner@mcs.anl.gov">hpc-announce-owner@mcs.anl.gov</a> to be added<br>
back on.<br>
<br>
If you need help with any of the above, please email us at<br>
<a href="mailto:hpc-announce-owner@mcs.anl.gov">hpc-announce-owner@mcs.anl.gov</a>.<br>
